Severe combined immunodeficiency [scid] with low t- and b-cell numbers - what does this mean
Severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by very low numbers of both t- and b-cells, which are key components of the immune system. these low cell numbers result in an inability to fight off infections, leaving those with scid highly susceptible to life-threatening illnesses.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Lymphocyte count
- Flow cytometry to determine T- and B-cell numbers
- Measurement of serum immunoglobulin levels
- Genetic testing for SCID
- T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) assay
- Adenosine deaminase (ADA) assay
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treat Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) with low T- and B-cell numbers
- Perform a stem cell transplant to replace the defective T- and B-cells
- Administer immunoglobulin (Ig) to help the body fight infections
- Administer antibiotics to treat any existing infections
- Administer antifungal medications to treat any existing fungal infections
- Administer antiviral medications to treat any existing viral infections
- Administer antineoplastic medications to treat any existing cancers
- Administer immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted cells
- Monitor the patient's blood counts and immune system function
- Monitor the patient for signs of infection
19 Days of Hospitalization Required
48 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Severe combined immunodeficiency [scid] with low t- and b-cell numbers - Prevention
The prevention of severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) with low t- and b-cell numbers can be achieved through prenatal screening, newborn screening, and gene therapy. prenatal screening can detect scid in a fetus, allowing for early intervention. newborn screening can detect scid shortly after birth, while gene therapy can be used to replace the defective gene and restore normal immune function.
